Abstract:
      To explore drought resistance mechanism of “Heshangtou”, a dryland spring wheat variety, drought stress (20% PEG-6000) was used to investigate leaf water content (LWC),proline content, electrolyte leakage(EL) and MDA content, with “Plateau 448” and “Ningchun No. 4” being the control. The results indicated“Heshangtou”showed relatively higher LWC, proline content, lower EL and MDA content, compared with the control. Under the condition of 48 h drought, the LWC and proline content of “Heshangtou” were significantly higher, and MDA content was significantly lower than the control. Additionally, no significant EL was observed between “Heshangtou” and “Ningchun No.4”, while significantly lower EL than “Plateau 448” showed in “Heshangtou”. The three varieties could be distinguished by physiological index based on cluster analysis. In terms of comprehensive evaluation on drought resistance, the three varieties were ranked in the sequence of “Heshangtou”, “Ningchun No. 4”, and “Plateau 448” from high to low.
